Lyric discussion by rowanbear 

Correction to my last post: the lyrics are "ever thus", not "ever us"... I listened and realized it makes more sense. It also may be "eke of the ocean" instead of "ache"? Can someone with official lyrics and/or a northern irish accent help out?

What Gary says about the song: "I'm really happy with the words," says Gary. "I always try to write about personal experiences - New York is about a girl I was seeing over there. We both had strong feelings for one another, but we were never in the same place at the same time. It's about missed opportunities. (From the SP website)

on the booklet thing that comes with the album it says eek :) but ache would make sense all the same!
